Thoughts on Heidi

[BeTaupeBear]

I have a DS called Freddie
Thinking about Heidi for his sister, any thoughts? We have a short one syllable surname

I'm sorry, but Heidi is so twee it makes my teeth itch. Twee, cutesy names provoke a visceral dislike in me.

But people have different tastes. I like more classic names, OP clearly likes cutesy ones. Just go with what you love and the opinion of random on the Internet doesn't matter.

Yo-de-lee…. No!

I love it, was a massive fan of the books as a kid.

Love it.

I love it too

I like it. It's not twee or overused. Goes well with Freddie.

I love it, it’s the name of a much loved family member (in her 50s, not a child) so I may be a little influenced by that.

Why does a name have to be shortened? Both mine and my husband’s names are impossible to be shortened, as they’re both single syllables . Like Jane and Paul, for instance. (Not our names but similar feel and our ‘age’ iykwim.) Not caused any problems

It's a lovely name ❤️

Yep this... Sorry @BeTaupeBear All I can hear is 'Hi--De-Hi Campers!'

I know Janes and Pauls who have people lengthening their names, and call them Janie and Paulie.

Potentially yes mine in particular could be…. Never has done though and I’m 60!!!!

Love it
